4 ARTICLE I MEMBERSHIP SECTION Requirements for Membership. Any person as defined by Louisiana Revised Statute 12:402(C) may become a member of Dixie Electric Membership Corporation (hereafter called DEMCO ) by: (a) completing and signing a written application for membership therein; (b) (c) agreeing to purchase from DEMCO electric energy as hereinafter specified; agreeing to comply with and be bound by the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of DEMCO and any rules and regulations adopted by the board of directors; and, (d) paying a membership fee hereinafter specified; provided, however that no person, firm, association, corporation, or body politic or subdivision thereof, shall become a member unless and until he or it has been accepted for membership by the board of directors. No member shall hold more than one membership in DEMCO, and no membership in DEMCO shall be transferable. SECTION Application for Membership; Renewal of Prior Application. Application for membership, whereby the applicant agrees to purchase electric power and energy from DEMCO and to be bound by and to comply with all of the other provisions of DEMCO s Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, and all rules, regulations, and rate schedules established pursuant thereto, as all the same then exist or may thereafter be adopted or amended (the obligations embraced by such agreement hereinafter called member obligations ) shall be made in writing on such forms as are provided therefor by DEMCO. With respect to any particular classification of service which the board of directors shall require, such application shall be accompanied by a supplemental contract, executed by the applicant on such form as is provided therefor by DEMCO. The membership application shall be accompanied by the membership fee provided in Section 1.03 (together with any service connection fee, security deposit, facilities extension deposit, or contribution in aid of construction that may be required by DEMCO), which fees (and such security deposit, facilities extension deposit, or con- tribution in aid of construction, if any) shall be refunded in the event the application is by board resolution denied. Any former member of DEMCO may, by the sole act of paying a new member- ship fee and any outstanding balance from prior service rendered by DEMCO, plus accrued interest thereon at the Louisiana legal rate on judgements in effect when such account first became overdue, compounded annually (together with any service connection fee, security deposit, facilities extension deposit, or contribution in aid of construction that may be required by DEMCO), renew and reactivate any prior application for membership of that member to the same effect as though the application had been newly made on the date of such payment. SECTION Membership Fee, Service Connection Fee, Security Deposit, Facilities Extension Deposit, and Contribution in Aid of Construction. The membership fee shall be as fixed from time to time by the board of directors. The membership fee, (together with any service connection fee, security deposit, facilities extension deposit, contribution in aid of construction or any combination thereof, if required by DEMCO) shall entitle the member to one service connection. A service connection fee, in such amount as shall be prescribed by DEMCO (together with a security deposit, a facilities extension deposit or a contribution in aid of construction or any combination thereof, if required by DEMCO) shall be paid by the member for each additional service connection requested by him. SECTION Joint Membership. An application for membership in DEMCO, pursuant to Article I, Section 1.02, by a married person shall constitute a joint membership in DEMCO, without regard to any separate property agreements, or any other like or similar agreements between the married persons. The term member as used in these bylaws shall be deemed to include a husband and wife and any provisions relating to the rights and liabilities of membership shall apply equally with respect to a husband and wife. 3

5 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the effect of the hereinafter specified actions by or in respect to the holders of a joint membership, shall be as follows: (a) the presence at a meeting of either or both shall constitute the presence of one (1) member; (b) a joint membership shall receive only one (1) ballot and one (1) vote at any meeting of the members and that vote shall constitute one (1) joint vote; (c) a waiver of notice signed by either or both shall constitute a joint waiver; (d) notice to either shall constitute notice to both; (e) expulsion of either shall terminate the joint membership; (f) withdrawal of either shall terminate the joint membership; (g) either but not both may be elected or appointed as an officer or director, provided that both meet the qualifications for such office; (h) all service connections, regardless of location, shall be through one joint membership; (i) in the event of legal separation or divorce, the provisions of Section 2.04 shall apply. SECTION Conversion of Membership. The membership of an unmarried person shall be converted to a joint membership upon marriage, without regard to any separate property agreements or any other like or similar agreements between the married persons, and all provisions of Article I, Section 1.04, Joint Membership, shall apply to that membership. SECTION Purchase of Electric Power. DEMCO shall use its best effort to furnish its members with adequate and dependable electric service, although it cannot and does not guarantee a continuous and uninterrupted supply thereof, and each member, for so long as such premises are owned or directly occupied or used by him, shall purchase from DEMCO all electric power and energy purchased for use on all premises to which electric service has been furnished by DEMCO pursuant to his membership, unless and except to the extent that the board of directors may in writing waive such requirements, and shall pay therefor at the times, and in accordance with the rules, regulations and rate schedules (including any monthly minimum amount that may be charged without regard to the amount of electric power and energy actually used) established by the board of directors or any regulatory agency, and if in effect, in accordance with the provisions of any supplemental contract that may have been entered into as provided for in Section 1.02 of these bylaws. Each member shall also pay all amounts owed to DEMCO as and when the same shall become due and payable. Production of electric energy on such premises, or the use of electric energy produced from a source other than DEMCO, regardless of such source, by means of facilities which shall be interconnected with DEMCO facilities, shall be subject to appropriate regulations as shall be fixed from time to time by DEMCO. Each member shall also pay all other amounts owed by him to DEMCO as and when they become due and payable. When the member has more than one service connection from DEMCO, any payment by him for service from DEMCO shall be deemed allocated and credited on a pro rate basis to his outstanding accounts for all such service connections, notwithstanding that DEMCO s actual accounting procedures do not reflect such allocation and proration. ARTICLE II RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF MEMBERS SECTION Termination of Membership. Any member may withdraw from membership upon compliance with such uniform terms and conditions as the board of directors may prescribe. The board of directors of DEMCO may by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of all the directors expel any member who shall have refused or failed to comply with any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, or rules and regulations adopted by the board of directors, but only if such member shall have been given written notice by the Secretary of DEMCO that such refusal or failure makes him liable to expulsion and after such written notice was given. Any expelled member may be reinstated by a majority vote of the board of directors or by a majority vote of the members at any annual or special meeting. Upon withdrawal, death (except as provided in Section 2.04) cessation of existence or expulsion of a member, the membership of such member shall thereupon terminate. Termination of membership in any manner shall not release a member or his estate 4

6 from any debts due to DEMCO. SECTION Property Interest of Members. Members shall have no individual or separate interest in the property or assets of DEMCO except that, upon dissolu- tion, the property and assets of DEMCO remaining after all debts and liabilities of DEMCO are paid, shall be distributed among all members on an equitable basis insofar as practicable in proportion of their patronage as determined from the books and records of DEMCO. SECTION Non-Liability for Debts of DEMCO. The private property of the members shall be exempt from execution or other liabilities for the debts of DEMCO and no member shall be individually liable or responsible for any debts or liabilities of DEMCO. SECTION Effect of Death, Legal Separation, or Divorce, Upon a Joint Membership. I. Death Upon the death of either spouse of a joint membership, such membership shall continue to be held solely by the survivor, in the manner and to the same effect as though such membership had never been joint; provided, that the estate of the deceased spouse shall not be released from any debts due to DEMCO. II. Legal Separation or Divorce Upon legal separation or divorce within a joint membership, such membership shall continue to be held solely by the one who continues directly to occupy or use the premises covered by such membership, in the same manner and to the same effect as though such membership had never been joint, unless otherwise ordered by a court of law; provided, that the other spouse shall not be released from any debts due to DEMCO accrued while the joint membership existed. ARTICLE III MEETINGS OF MEMBERS SECTION Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the members shall be held at such place in the Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana, as shall be designated in the notice of the meeting for the purpose of electing directors, passing upon reports of the previous fiscal year and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. Failure to hold the annual meeting at the designated time shall not work a forfeiture for dissolution of DEMCO. In any year, the board of directors may, by majority vote of the board, provide that the election of directors as well as other business and affairs of DEMCO at the annual meeting of the members for such year, shall be conducted by mail ballot. SECTION Special Meetings. Special meetings of the members may be called by resolution of the board of directors, or upon written request by any three (3) directors, or the President, or by ten (10) percent, or more of all members, and it shall thereupon be the duty of the Secretary to cause notice of such meeting to be given as hereinafter provided. Special meetings of the members may be held at any place within the Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana, specified in the notice of the special meeting. SECTION Notice of Member Meetings. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting, and in case of a special meeting or an annual meeting at which business other than that listed in Article III, Section 3.06, is to be transacted, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) calendar days, not counting the date of the meeting, nor more than twenty-five (25) calendar days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Secretary, or upon default in duty by the Secretary, by the persons calling the meeting, to each member. If mailed such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail to the member at his address as it appears on the records of DEMCO with postage thereon prepaid. The failure of any member to receive notice of an annual or special meeting of the members shall not invalidate any action which may be taken by the members at any such meeting. (As amended by the Board of Directors, November 21, 2002) SECTION Quorum. Five (5) percent of total members of DEMCO as of the record date, present and in person, shall constitute a quorum at any annual or special meeting of DEMCO. If less than a quorum is present at any annual or special meeting, a majority of those present in person may adjourn the meet- ing from time to time without further 5

7 notice, provided, that the Secretary shall notify any absent members of the time and place of such adjourned meeting. In any year in which balloting by mail is conducted for an annual or special meeting, fifteen (15) percent of the members, voting by mail, shall constitute a quorum; and provided further that where balloting by mail is conducted for the election of any director from any district, not less than fifteen (15) percent of the members from such district voting by mail shall constitute a quorum. A quorum from each district shall be sufficient to validate the election of a candidate from the district. Elections conducted by mail shall be conducted under the supervision of a certified public accountant. SECTION Voting. Each member shall be entitled to only one (1) vote at any annual or special meeting of DEMCO. In the case of joint membership, either spouse may sign for the membership and cast the ballot on behalf of the membership. All questions shall be decided by a vote of a majority of members voting thereon, except as provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these bylaws. Specific items of new business, except the sale, mortgage, lease or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of DEMCO s property, may be placed upon the agenda for action at any meeting of the members at which balloting is conducted by first class mail by timely resolution of the board of directors, or by ten (10) percent or more of all members, and notice thereof shall be provided as herein set forth in Article III, Section 3.03, Notice of Member Meetings; provided, however, that in order for any such item or items of business to be placed upon the agenda of an annual meeting, at the instance of ten (10) percent or more of all members, the written request therefor by ten (10) percent or more of the members must be received at the office of the general manager of DEMCO not less than forty-five (45) days, not counting the date of the meeting, prior to the date of the meeting of the members at which such item or items are to be considered. (As amended by the Board of Directors, November 21, 2002) In any year, the board of directors may, as set forth in Article III, Section 3.01, Annual Meetings, provide that the election of directors as well as other business and affairs of DEMCO shall be conducted by mail ballot. In any such year, the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots shall be not less than five (5) days nor more than ten (10) days from the date of the annual or special meeting of the members. (As amended by the Board of Directors, April 17, 2003) I. Record Date. For the purpose of determining members entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of members or in order to make a determination of members for any other purposes, the board of directors may fix in advance a record date for determination of members for such purpose. Such date shall not be more than sixty (60) days, not counting the date of the meeting, prior to the date on which the vote is to be taken. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors for the purpose of determining members entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting, the close of business on the day before the notice of the meeting is mailed, or if notice is waived, then the close of business on the day before the meeting, shall be the record date for such purpose. SECTION Order of Business. At meetings in which balloting is conducted by mail, the items set forth below shall be conducted solely by consideration of ballots received from the members by mail, and no business may be conducted from the floor. The order of business at the annual meeting of the members and, so far as possible, at all other meetings of the members, shall be essentially as follows: (1) Report as to which members are present in order to determine the existence of a quorum. (2) Reading of the notice of the meeting and proof of the mailing thereof, or the waiver or waivers of notice of the meeting, as the case may be.

SECTION Waiver of Notice. Any member or director may waive in writing, any notice of a meeting required to be given by these bylaws.
